ACTIVITY 1:
Read the following. Choose one pattern of development that best matches the statement. You may choose a
pattern more than once.
_________________________________1. I took up the river road as hard as I could put. By and by I begin to
hear guns a good ways off. When I came in sight of the log store and the woodpile where the steamboats
lands I worked along under the trees and brush ‘till I got to a good place, and then I climb up into the forks of a
cottonwood that was out of reach, and watched. - From The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.
__________________________________2. Caroline, or Sister Carrie, as she had been half affectionately,
termed by the family, was possessed of a mind rudimentary in its power of observation and analysis. Self-
interest with her was high, but not strong. It was nevertheless, her guiding characteristic.
__________________________________3. There is a wide variety of contexts and situations in which
communication can be manifested; it can be a face-to-face interaction, a phone conversation, a group
discussion, a meeting or interview, a letter correspondence, a class recitation, and many others.
_________________________________4. Freedom is a concept that needs to be understood.
_________________________________5. Hello. My name is Zack and I'm going to give you a few simple
lessons on how to sync Google accounts. I must warn you though; this is for newbies. If you're at all
experienced at this sort of thing, you'll probably find this tutorial a bit of a yawner.
_________________________________6. There are basically two statistical concepts: Descriptive Statistics
and Inferential Statistics.
_________________________________7. At one time or another, most of us have suffered from
nightmares. Nightmares are bad dreams that take place during the deepest level of sleep. They are usually
brief and upon waking can be remembered in detail. Night terrors, however, are a good deal more anxiety
producing. During a night terror, the sleeper experiences a feeling of total panic, and that panic may last for
fifteen or twenty minutes. During this time, the victim may scream or shout in fear. Usually, however, upon
waking, the sleeper only vaguely remembers what caused the terror.
________________________________8. As you might already know, there is no direct intermixing of blood
between a mother and her unborn child. However, some substances—especially drugs—can still have a
powerful effect on the fetus. If, for example, the mother is addicted to morphine, heroin, or methadone, the
baby may be born with the same addiction. For that matter, even high doses of aspirin appear to have some
effect on the fetus. In at least one study, high doses of aspirin have been linked to lower IQs in infants.
________________________________9. Juvenile delinquency is a social issue that requires urgent attention.
________________________________10. A healthy morning exercise can be done in five simple steps.

ACTIVITY 2:

ACTIVITY 3: Evaluate the paragraph based on its properties by writing down the mistakes committed by the
writer in terms of organization, coherence and cohesion, language use and mechanics.

I hate reiny days. I remember reading about my favorite writer from Europe, Mary Shelley. It rained a lot
in 1816…a lot-like everyday, the weather in europe was abnormally wet because it rained in Switzerland on
130 days out of 183 days from April to September. If I was Mary Shelley I might decide to write a book too.
Afterall, it was the onnly thing you could do without TV or anything. She said that she “passed the summer of
1816 in the environs of Geneva…we ocassionally amused ourselves with some german stories of ghosts…
These tales excited in us a playful desire of imitation” So, people were stuck inside and bored. Mary Shelley
decided to write a book because it was so awful outside. I can totally see her point, you know? I guess I would
write a novel if there was nothing else to do.
